Finally.......Candy Sprinkle Spotted Seals on Glacier completed.......on a gallery wrap 18 x 36 canvas.
This is my first drip painting in awhile......I like the icy cobalt blue effect.....may try this on another painting.

Also a closeup of one of the seals.....shows the candy sprinkle spots!

Completed commissioned painting......whew....this was quite a bit of work!

I'm pleased w the results.......using complementary color scheme really worked for these guys, making them almost glow and pop off the canvas. The actual painting is even brighter than the pic. Once I varnish it will be even brighter!

Finally finished.....Mardi Gras Octopus on Seagrass.
I didn't intend it ...but he has all the colors of Mardi Gras and he seems to be glowing........

I am starting to like these long format canvases.......can create nice offset compositions.....worked well for the octopus.....or multiple lineup of individuals which I like to paint. This one is a long and narrow 15 x 40, not too large to be unwieldy.
